Our Approach
The Anglican Bioethics Center (ABC) applies biblical principles to life, technology, and medicine, equipping Christians to navigate contemporary bioethical challenges with wisdom. We uphold the inherent dignity of human life and advocate for the responsible stewardship of technology and medical advancements in alignment with God’s design for human flourishing.
At the Anglican
Bioethics Center…
We believe that Scripture is the inerrant and sufficient Word of God, providing timeless guidance for ethical challenges, including modern bioethics. While the Bible does not explicitly mention every emerging technology or medical advancement, it offers a clear moral framework to help Christians apply God’s truth to all aspects of life. Our approach to bioethics begins and ends with Scripture, affirming the intrinsic worth of every human being from the moment of fertilization and recognizing our responsibility to steward technology and medicine with wisdom. Indeed, the moral authority to address these issues originates in the Cultural Mandate (Genesis 1:26-31) when God calls humanity to steward His creation, from the blessing of procreation to the development of the created world.
Why This Matters Now
We live in an era of rapid scientific advancement, where developments in artificial intelligence, reproductive technologies, gene editing, and end-of-life care raise urgent moral questions. Today’s parishioner is dealing with IVF/surrogacy/donor, but given research today we know that designer babies are already here and will soon be the norm. We have to teach people the basics of what it means to be human as the choices become more complicated.
The Anglican Bioethics Center seeks to provide a robust, biblically faithful anthropology that resists the cultural tide of technological utopianism while promoting an approach to life, technology, and medicine that honors God’s design and human flourishing.
The Anglican Church must equip pastors, medical professionals, and laypeople with the theological and ethical resources to discern these issues wisely.
Sell the relevancy/urgency of this now… dealing with life and death matters. If you don’t apply God’s teaching to these issues, you won’t have anyone. You are morally responsible for your congregants souls, and they are making life and death decisions, you must be ready.

The greatest ethical challenge of our time is not just what we can do with technology and medicine but who we are as human beings. In an age of technological utopianism, the Church must proclaim the good news of biblical anthropology—that human beings are created in God’s image, with inherent worth, purpose, and dignity.

Core Convictions
Life
Life begins at the moment of fertilization. We bear witness to the sanctity of life at every stage of development and reject practices that commodify, harm, or destroy human beings.
Technology
Technology is a God-given tool that humans are to steward wisely. As a tool, humans use technology to build physical or digital creations. Technology also has a metaphysical force that shapes how human beings view the world. In other words, we shape our tools, and our tools, in turn, shape us. While it can enhance human flourishing, it must not subvert human identity or replace the natural order established by God. Used rightly, technology is a means by which humans are called to reveal God’s goodness in creation through God-honoring innovations.
Medicine
Medicine should restore, heal, or affirm life and the natural functioning of the body. Ethical healthcare should align with God’s design, addressing the root causes of disease, providing comfort in illness or death, and ensuring that treatments do no harm nor offer technology “hacks” that reject human embodiment. Moreover, health providers should empower individuals to make informed medical decisions that align with their biblical and moral convictions.
